I'll resist the urge to make puns about the name at the moment...
A friend of mine who I game with recently let me know about an app exclusively for individuals on the autism spectrum called Hiki. It's apparently both for dating and making new friends and I was considering using it. Does anyone here have any experiences, positive or negative, that you could share?
I have not downloaded the app yet. My initial thoughts are that this could be more helpful than something like Tinder or other general dating apps that aren't particularly for specific population segments like those of us on the spectrum. However, another initial thought I had is that, seeing as it is a fairly new dating app, it might be of limited value to me since it might mean too few people use it at the moment. I recognize that this isn't really a valid reason to not give it a shot but it also moderates my optimism a bit.
If anyone has any feedback or opinions to contribute, I would greatly appreciate it. Also, if you have any other dating apps to suggest that might also be helpful for people on the spectrum, I'd be happy to hear those suggestions. Any information is welcome!
(Relevant PS: I've been flirting with the idea of trying dating apps since my therapist recommended it as a potential way to meet people after I described a fairly recent event that I handled well given the circumstances.)
